A comic book artist
and illustrator for over
ten years, working on
many well-known
magazines, newspapers
and comics (especially
‘Judge Dredd’ and
‘2000AD’), he doggedly
pursued his desire to be
able to concentrate
entirely upon fine art
and produced his first
solo exhibition at the
Park Walk Gallery,
London in 1996.
Following this success,
he had further solo
shows at that gallery in
1997, 1999 and October
2001 and numerous group
shows, notably ART96,
97, 98, 2001. His work
can also be found at The
Eleanor Ettinger Gallery,
New York and The Everard
Read Gallery,
Johannesburg, South
Africa. His painting,
‘Head’ was chosen to
represent and advertise
the Hunting Art Prize
2001.
Although he is often
known for somewhat
obliquely changing his
subject matter he always
finds his way back to
the human form,
believing the body and
the personality to be
the most elusive,
challenging and vital
form of artistic
expression.
Austin now lives in
Exeter, Devon and
continues to be
represented by the Park
Walk Gallery, London.
